Inspired by a portrait of the French explorer, photographer and inventor Jacques Cousteau and his family, Going Calypso shows the results of Obwegeser’s and Dietrich’s examination of two main notions of expeditions in general: freedom and uncertainty. Being inexperienced in utilizing familiar processes diverted from its intended use in an underwater environment, they embarked themselves on an undertaking containing various questionable parameters. The “Permament Expedition – Crew” was asked to join a photo shoot for a group portrait underwater. An integral part of this project was photographing with the analogue underwater camera „Nikonos V“, a successor model to the Calypso Camera, which Jacques Cousteau helped to design.
